The Managing Director of LBSL, Mr. Idowu Oguntona, who disclosed this today at Ikeja, said the introduction of the Oshodi-Obalende route is the response to the request by Lagosians calling for the extension of bus operation to the route in order to ease transportation challenges being faced daily by masses that ply the route.
